| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone May God be with Pat, his family and friends.This is thread is a touching reminder of a journey I took with my wife some six years ago. Sad, hopeful, powerful, life changing. Thank you all for sharing. | |
| Sony XA9000es/Sony DVP-NS999ES You might want to consider a ModWright DVP-NS999ES. From all reports its a very fine player. There are several on-line reviews that you can read about the modded player. I have a ModWright DAC and Dan does do good work. There was a significant imp... | |
| Upgrade from Thorens TD-125 Mk II I had a TD-126 MK II which I absolutly loved and wish I still had for sentimental reasons only. I replaced it with an SME10 and was truly amazed at the improvement in sound and the vanishingly low noise floor of the new table. This convinced me th... | |
| Worst remote nomination... Oops, I read Line 2 as a model number NOT the function label. Never mind. My bad. | |
| Worst remote nomination... Mezmo wrote:>>So I've got the lights dimmed to watch a movie (main outs running from the HT receiver into Line 2 on the preamp to integrate the two systems, with volume dialed in at 0 gain on the pre) and I, not surprisingly, want to dim the... | |
| add Benchmark DAC-1 to Sony 400 cd jukebox??? I have a PT P-3A ModWright L2 DAC being fed by a 300 disc Sony CDP-CX555ES and it's really good. Much better that the stock player. With the de-jitter capabilities of the Benchmark you should be in good shape.So, try it. I don't think that you'll ... | |
| Goldmund Studio/T3 with Helikon cartridge My experience with the Shure SFG and Helikon is that the reading on the SFG was pretty darned close to what I expected, 1.75gm, when I set up my arm (SME 10) by following the manufacturers directions. The cart tracks wonderfully and sounds great.T... | |
| Good MM cartridge The V15VxMR is what I used in my TD126 MkII and it was a great match. | |
| AR XA Turntable/ ShureV15VxMR cartridge That was my first TT 36 year ago and I ran a Shure M91ED which was very similar, compliance & tracking, to a V15. I agree with Dopogue that it should work fine however, the arm really is pretty basic. | |
| Best Tube Preamp for JC-1 Monoblocks? The now discontinued Sonic Frontiers Line 1, 2 & 3 are tube based, have balanced outputs and don't sound euphonic. | |
| I need a good quality CD player - with changer Take a look at the new Sony SCD-C2000ES. All indications are that it's a great performer and gives you SACD as well as a 5-disc changer. | |
| birdland odeon-Ag VS Perpetual Tech P1A/P3A/P3 "I have not heard the Benchmark DAC. Only got feedback from customers that do shootouts."I have a ModWright Perpetual and am really currious what others have heard vs the Benchmark. Can you share their impressions??TIA | |
| Problem with Perpetual P1-A. Your SOCS is for a specific speaker. Using it for a speaker, or headphones, other that what it was designed for will cause frequency and phase changes that will most likely degrade the sonic performance of they system.If you have the single curve ... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? A couple of years ago I bought really good speakers for the rear and a Sony XA9000ES this spring. Eventually I'll get a pre-pro with analog bypass that will allow me to listen to MC. However, in the mean time I'm perfectly happy to listen in 2ch v... | |
| Sonic Frontiers line 3 vs. AR 25 II I've never heard an AR but, I do love my SF Line 3SE. As the others have said it's very honest and not tubey. I had Frank Pugliano and company upgrade it to the SE configuration last year and it really was worthwhile. I needed to get it back for s... |
